the ram I purchased had good reviews online so I decided to get it since it is cheap ( http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820141236 ) and the stock timings are suppose to be 2-3-2-5 according to Newegg and I don't know what number means what.. I tried changing a few and my computer wouldnt boot so I had to just reset cmos. I guess I don't really understand ram to know how to do this.. I've always left it on auto and it had the correct timings. My options Biostar's bios gives me are:
cas# Latency 2, 2.5, 3
Min RAS# Active time 2T-7T
Ras# to Cas# delay 2T-7T
Row Precharge Time 2T-7T
Row to Row delay 2T-4T
before I upgraded my bios I think I only saw 4 options to change but now there is 5?? Who knows, maybe I just missed one before. What numbers go where though??
Another thing is my ram is specified at 2.6V and my motherboard only gives the options of 2.7V-2.9V, so what do I do??
The voltage is the main problem.. I am just afraid of ruining my ram.. will I?? also, if you can tell me where to put what timings it'll be even better
I read some tutorial online that I googled and some of the things were labled a little differently than in my bios so I pretty much had to guess and I guessed wrong and had to reset the jumper to go back to stock bios settings. I have voltage set to auto right now, how do I know what it is giving it?? Probably 2.7?? I really don't want to ruin this ram, it isn't even a month a old yet 
thanks guys/gals
